In that context, mapping the QoS classes between these different access networks becomes a big challenge. In this paper, we propose a method of mapping between the CoS of UMTS and QoS categories of WiMAX in a tight coupling architecture of Heterogeneous Wireless Access Network (HWAN). %K Quality of Services (QoS) %K 4G Network %K Heterogeneous Wireless Access Network (HWAN) %K Next Generation Wireless Network (NGWN) %U http://www.jscse.com/papers/?vol=2&no=3&n=1
